Dive Rite Z Knife - Daisy Chain Clip

Dive Rite Z Knife - Daisy Chain Clip

Coordinating with our new line of harness pockets is our unique cutting device sheaths that snap into our pocket daisy chain loops. Using heavy-duty Annex clips that slip through daisy chain loops and snap into place. These clips are rugged and won’t come unclasped underwater. To remove, you must pinch the ends slightly to get the clip to release…easy enough, but not so easy that it comes undone all on its own. The sheath clip will also close around cylinder hose retainers, wrist straps, gaiters or a chest strap. A quick-release Velcro lanyard keeps the Z-knife in firmly in place.

In the early 1980's cave divers were in need of small, line-cutting devices. Since the application was strictly for cutting lines, they looked to other sports and adopted the parachute line cutter known as a Z-Knife. The Z-knife was a protected blade stored away in a pouch. Today, the pouches have evolved, but the knife is still the same one parachutists' use to cut away a chute. Sharper than a dive knife, the Z-Knife is preferred for cutting through monofilament and braid line.
